I think we've got a fair few decent characters among the group.

It's not like the days of wasters like Hojbjerg and Dier and Winks being leaders in the dressing room.

lol those wasters never lost 22 league matches in a season.

Losing guys like Hojbjerg and Dier did a lot of damage to us. Not because of their quality but their attitude. They enjoyed working hard and had a lot of experience. Instead we have trusted in morons like Bissouma and children like Gray and Bergvall, the results are there for all to see.

I don’t see many decent characters in this group. A lot of “nice” players but not many who sweat blood. We have a lot of players who lack humility, are happy to ball-watch and are prone to tantrums. Like Tudor said, we need to find that small team mentality again. We need to understand that working harder than the opponent is the best way to ensure a win. Too many of our players think they can coast. There is a real lack of humility through every level of the club.

I'm close to that stage. I think another shit show defeat to Fulham where we aren't even in the game and I think a lot of people who have been burying their heads in the sand are suddenly going to start panicking.

I just can't see any creativity or goals in this team, and every defender you look at is an accident waiting to happen.

Yeah. While the squad (even those fit) has the technical capability to stay up. I am moving towards believing their horrible work ethic will take us down.

Not against the back 3 tbh. We looked alright (by our awful standards) playing it under Frank until the City first half, after which he abandoned it then we were utter wank playing a back 4 against Newcastle.

Main issues against Woolwich were the wingbacks (Djed too right footed, Gray not a natural full-back), the lack of technical ability, composure and passing in midfield and central defence, and the very existence of Dragusin. All those problems would've likely still been there regardless of whether we played with a back 3 or 4. And we don't have any fit wingers anyway, which means shunting Xavi, RKM out wide or shoehorning in Tel if we play with a back 4.

Hopefully against Fulham Danso and Porro will come straight back in - those 2 will help provide a bit of balance and mean we can get Dragusin out of the team.

Our injuries fuck up for all formations. Can’t do back 4 cos we don’t have wingers, can’t do back 3 cos we don’t have wing backs. If we can somehow have Romero, Danso, VDV, Udogie, Porro in a few games time the system should be very well balanced for a 343.
 
Seeing a Porro and Danso are fit, supposedly. That mean's we can properly address the balance issue in the squad...

Actually, they could have put out a balanced side for the few weeks as Souza should have been playing at LB.


Muani -- Solanke

Souza --Xavi ---------- Conor -- Porro
Paulinha

VdV -- Danso -- Dragusin​


I think this is how we will/should line up and if we play this team, i think we will be alright against Fulham and will get something. Paulinha sitting in front of the back three, even in a high-line. Porro in his best position as an attacking wing back, some natural balance and width on the Left, with pace I may add, Souza is like a little whippet, Dragusin is fine as long as he is not in the middle, that is exactly where Danso should be.

Gallagher actually made his name in the 10 role, so better suited to attacking, if feel, and will provide some much needed support for Xavi and hopefully provide some much needed support for him.

Muani should have had a hatrick, but the corruption said no, so I would give him another go. And i don;t care if he is playing for the shop window, if it helps us stay up, who gives a fuck.

Guys, come on, do not credit the herculean world-class efforts of Kane and Son to their absolutely shocking and disgraceful cadre of Hitchen and Levy pound shop teammates.

Connor Gallagher would have looked like Roy Keane compared to Hojbjerg in that team.
